An August night
The sound of music in the air
And the gentle melody makes me want your company
And leads me to your door
You call to me
And ask if I will take your hand
To the bottom of the stairs
Crowds of people waiting there
And we can be alone
But come what may
There will always be a summer time
Painted ladies with their gypsy eyes dancing in the breeze
Oh my little lonely one
Tell me that you want the sun
I'll never let your life become so far away from me
And so we between the shadows and the smoke
We could find another place
Where every stranger is a face
And no one knows who knows
If I'm in your way I'll take my smiles to somewhere new
I can leave you with the guy
Who's been watching you all night and catch another show
Come what may
There will always be a summer time
Painted ladies with their gypsy eyes dancing in the breeze
Oh my little lonely one
Tell me that you want the sun
I'll never let your life become so far away from me
